Quote of the Day:

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

Nietzsche

  1. jumping viruses
    Animals who eat their own kind develop some kind of mad animal disease, particularly if they eat the brains. Humans eating them would catch it.

    Wonderful article by Theodore Dalrymple.Virago Press usually attracts some of the most aggressive feminist writers that I have learned to stay away from it.

    Nietzsche did not have to stroll through the lunatic asylum to make that observation, he assessed everyone he ever met in the same way.

    Thanks Jameske,

  2. George Galloway…
    Of course you have to be careful when you read what the Daily Telegraph has to say about George Galloway.

    Don’t forget, it was the Daily Telegraph that first exposed these accusations against GG last year. GG took them to court and won his case, winning £150,000 in damages (an the Daily Telegraph having to pay a substantial sum in costs too). This whole business is still the subject of an ongoing appeal by the Daily Telegraph (which feels that it’s claims have been awarded a certain extra gravitas since they’re not now alone in making the allegations).

    So, remember that the Daily Telegraph is a journal scorned, and therefore has a score to settle with GG.

    That said, I saw GG’s performance on all tne UK news channels last night and I think the guy did a sterling effort in making the US administration look like a bunch of hypocrites (which, of course, they are).

    Well done GG – that’s one in the eye for the Bush administration!

      I saw George Galloway and cheered his every word.It’s about time someone stood up to these people whose own lives have very murky areas.
      This morning I saw Galloway again with his Havana cigar.Bravo.
